Health Alert Network (HAN)

The Health Alert Network (HAN) is an essential resource for communication between Central District Health Department and health care providers, schools, laboratories, pharmacies, and other medical service providers. We highly encourage our health care community to sign-up to receive HAN messages. HAN is used to pass on important information about outbreaks, seasonal disease advisories, educational opportunities, and more. Learn More

Reportable Diseases in Idaho

Health care providers, laboratorians, and hospital administrators are required, according to the Idaho Reportable Diseases Rules (IDAPA 16.02.10), to report communicable diseases and conditions included on the Idaho Reportable Disease List to their local health district or the Epidemiology Program within the Bureau of Communicable Disease Prevention. Reports must be made within three (3) working days of identification or diagnosis unless otherwise noted on the Idaho Reportable Disease List.
